[PATCH v5 12/16] printk: Separate code for enabling console

[Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>]

There are several code paths which try to enable a newly registered
console. Move the logic into a separate try_enable_console() function.

It simplifies a bit the long register_console() function definition.

Also followup patches are going to add even more code paths. And it will
be easier to use "return" when it does not make sense to try other
variants.

No behavior change.
